Today is her first day, and for anyone who will be in the park today, she will help bring Timon to life in the Parade of Dreams.

She was lucky though, for we had no Show Stops for the first parade. Those are a killer!
Originally Posted By trekkeruss Wow, I had no idea it has been so hot in SoCal these days. Hayley has always done singing, dancing, and acting in school, and has been wanting to perform at DL for some time now. Glad to hear she did well; thanks for the report, Mr. F. TBF, I'll let her know you'll be on there. Please give her a kiss and a wave from me too.

(I've never been around Characters, but the summer heat is a killer for ALL entertainers, ESPECIALLY characters!)
